..is originally a Dutch word which means 'stomach'. The word for stomach in Bahasa Indonesia is 'perut'. Maag has become slang for, as the above poster has written, stomach problems. Just FYI there are also a large amount of Indonesian-Malaysian words that have entered the Dutch language as well. Cheers. Hope your Maag is o.k.
